A rare complete set of Edwardian buttons in 9ct gold and mother of pearl, presented in their original fitted case from Jays, Diamond Merchants & Jewellers, 142–144 Oxford Street, London. Each button is delicately bordered with a gold floral wreath, encircling the soft iridescence of mother of pearl. Hallmarked for 9ct gold.

Originally made as dress buttons, these would have adorned a gentleman’s evening waistcoat in the early 20th century, adding a touch of luxury and refinement. Many sets like this have since been divided into cufflinks, making a complete set of buttons in their original case a particularly special survival.

Mother of pearl was especially prized in Edwardian fashion for its subtle lustre and association with elegance and purity, while the gold floral surround reflects the light, delicate detailing of the age.

The case itself is stamped for Jays of Oxford Street, one of London’s respected late 19th and early 20th century jewellers, known for offering fine jewels and luxury accessories to a fashionable clientele.

A charming and historical jewel for collectors, and a reminder of the refined style of Edwardian evening dress.
